Problem/Motivation

All attempts to get the GeoIP functionality working are failing. (PS: I'd be happy to contribute to the docs to help new users with all the undocumented steps to get maxminddb PHP extension installed.)

Steps to reproduce

Fresh Drupal Install for 10.1.6 on Ubuntu 22.04
Install Visitors 8.x-2.16 using composer
Signup for Maxmind and establish maxmind geoipupdate on server
Update settings in Visitors GeoIP to point to the maxmind DB file
- At this point the site status report will indicate that the maxminddb is not installed.
Install PHP maxminddb estension and enable
The status report no longer shows any errors related to the GeoIP module

- At this point the site is recording visitor stats for each page view but there is still no location information. IP address is shows for each recent hit and using that IP from the example maxmind-db reader script will generate correct location results. Nothing appears in the database for the drupal site or the reports though.
